Actor Steven Yeun shared his thoughts on reuniting with director Bong Joon-ho for ‘Mickey 17’ after ‘Okja’.

‘Mickey 17’, which will be released for the first time in Korea on the 28th, tells the unpredictable story of Mickey, a cloned human expendable (The Expendables) who is sent on a dangerous mission where his life is at stake, as he experiences his 17th near-death experience. Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Mark Ruffalo, and Steven Yeun star.

At a press conference held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 20th, Steven Yeun said, “As time passes and I grow on my own, the aspects of my experiences with the director seem to change. Director Bong always sees actors as they are and actively supports them. He said, “If I continue to work with the director in the future, I think I will be able to show you more of our evolution together.”

He continued, “And Director Bong has beautiful eyes. I guess you could say his vision is beautiful. I think the things that Director Bong finds with his own unique perspective are truly beautiful.”
